Three reactor units at the Onagawa plant are being watched and controlled for radiation leaks and possible meltdown.

The wind direction may impact where the radiation goes both at a local level and even across the globe. The wind direction at both of these locations
are similar since the Onagawa power plant is located just to the northeast of Fukushima power plant.

"The exact direction of the winds would have to be known at the time of the release of a large amount of radiation to understand exactly where the
radiation would go," according to Expert Senior Global Meteorologist Jim Andrews.

It is unknown when a large release of radiation would occur, if at all, at this point.

Accu Weather has a very good article. Very cautious to make early claims that everything will be alright. No one can guarantee that.

so your solution is to hype everyone up by posting somethign from a questionable source?

Listen, you are able to get people to understand and agree with your fears and concerns better if you gather your information and let them see this
situation from another perspective than the msm spoon feeds them. But do it calmly and rationally. Its not their fault they believe what they are
watching on the news.

Ask your Mom to buy Potassium Iodide to be on the safe side, get it tomorrow or it could be off the store shelves by the time you'll need it, and get
some for your pets too.

Although the mainstream media and government officials continue to downplay potential dangers to our country, a number of experts are beginning to
come out with warnings that say otherwise.

The situation in Japan seems to be getting worse by the minute. News is now coming across the wires that a second nuclear reactor may now be in
jeopardy of melting down. The Japanese government has setup a so called “danger zone” of around 26 miles and began distributing Iodine pills to
the public. While they continue to claim that the public is in no danger, this morning they seemed to contradict themselves by telling the public to
put their clothing in plastic bags before entering their homes.

UPDATE: 10:24p.m. PST 3-14-2011
US Navy confirms that 17 airman are being treated for radiation poisoning after flying through a radio active plume. Cmdr. Jeff A. Davis, a spokesman
for the American Seventh Fleet in Japan also confirmed the USS Regan’s on-board sensors indicated that the carrier had also been exposed to
radiation.

This is not good, I have friends and family on the west side of the United States.
Any news on local media ?

im on the west coast, and no. All they are saying is that levels are being monitored.

The thing that people are missing here is that the people in Japan are exposed to this first. *IF* some deadly cloud is on the way, we wont see a few
people with radiation. We will start seeing people dying en mass.

"If There Were a Reactor Meltdown or Major Leak at Fukushima, the Radioactive Cloud Would Likely be Blown Out ... Towards the US West
Coast"

Agence-France Presse notes:

California is closely monitoring efforts to contain leaks from a quake-damaged Japanese nuclear plant, a spokesman said Saturday, as experts said
radiation could be blown out across the Pacific.

"At present there is no danger to California. However we are monitoring the situation closely in conjunction with our federal partners," Michael
Sicilia, spokesman for California Department of Public Health, told AFP.

"California does have radioactivity monitoring systems in place for air, water and the food supply and can enhance that monitoring if a danger
exists," he added.

So this is how the world goes. Not with a Roar but a whimper. Sorry If it hits I see no severity in it. Lets the hype slide.If within what 18 hours we
would be hit by fallout we would be. They can't say when it would hit winds change gas's rise. Any one with this science could speak of weather
temps at least closer to the mark. Face it folk any newmans will say they same thing they can't predict the weather within two days. They have no
idea which way it will blow if it is actually blowing exspecially after all the winds the Tsunamai has changed up.

All my satellite news channels are announcing it this morning. Meanwhile, two 'experts' wheeled on to discuss this are trying to say it's no more
serious than an extra x ray ....
Thoughts are with the people of Japan as well as the brave rescue workers who have put themselves in danger. Including the foreign teams who have gone
there. And what about the old and the infirm who are having to queue OUTSIDE for hours to get basic supplies. Unreal.
